“…These results are comparable to other series using laser lithotripsy, 5,[7][8][9][10] in which clearance rates of 85-97% are quoted. Our results also compare favorably with those of extra corporeal shock wave lithotripsy for ureteric calculi, 2,[11][12][13][14] where clearance rates are in the order of 80-85%.…”

This is hospital based prospective study done in the urology unit of Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur. All patients who were subjected for ureteroscopy and lithotripsy were included in the study between January 01, 2018 to May 31, 2018. Hundred patients with 116 stones were treated with the Holmium laser Versa Pulse P20 Laser Lithotripter. Overall stone clearance rate was 97%. The more the stone burden less was the stone clearance rate. The major complications were perforation and postoperative fever which occurred in 11% of each case. This procedure is a safe and effective treatment for ureteric calculi and is associated with a low complication rate and a high clearance rate. Laser lithotripsy is the optimum ureteroscopic method of treating ureteric.

“…Despite all of that, ureterolithotomy is the mainstay of ureteric stones treatment in selected cases including, but not limited to, impacted stones, large stones, cysteine stones, and especially stones located in the upper ureter and stones with these features, open surgery should be taken in consideration [11,12]. Additionally, near 7% of ureteral stones, which were treated with endoscopic manipulation, were not treated completely and will need to be treated again [13] and eventually, approximately, 10% of them would be treated with open surgery [14].…”

Background Identifying the precise location of the lower ureter is crucial in not only ureteral surgeries but also the other surgeries that may cause ureteral injury. Although a variety of approaches have been applied to detect the location of the lower ureter, the majority of them had an association with several complications or be difficult to perform perfectly or be time-consuming. Case presentation Seven patients with distal ureteric stones of the size ranged from 2 to 3 cm. All patients entered the study after signing the informed consent, and the case report is based on CARE guidelines. After specifying the inner ring of the inguinal canal, the posterior peritoneum was opened and dissected from an area of 2 cm medial and 2 cm inferior to the inner ring. Thereafter, the stone was extracted from the precise location of them, which was identified by ureteral pinching. Conclusion We assumed that we were easily able to identify the site of the lower ureter through 2 cm medial and 2 cm inferior to the inner ring. The result of our study on seven patients demonstrated that this maneuver can minimize the time of surgery and no complications have been seen while this approach was applied.

“…cystine and brushite stones [16, 17]. It is also well known that the higher the level of the stone the more difficult the ureteroscopy is, while stones situated distally to the pelvic brim are hard to be localized and treated by SWL [18]. …”
